September Location of Interest

📍Hello, Route 6 explorers! Our September Location of Interest takes us to the heartland of America – Moline, Illinois. We’re thrilled to introduce you to the John Deere Pavilion, the world’s largest agriculture museum. 🚜

Here, you can immerse yourself in the rich history and groundbreaking innovations of the iconic John Deere company. From its humble beginnings to its current status as a global leader in agriculture, the story is truly inspiring.

What makes this spot even more special? You can request a personal tour guide, likely a Deere retiree, who’ll customize your visit. It’s a unique chance to hear firsthand accounts and get insider knowledge about the company’s journey.

Remember, U.S. Route 6 isn’t just the oldest, longest, and highest of the old roads. It’s also a treasure trove of stories, histories, and experiences waiting to be discovered. And we’re committed to preserving this legacy.

We invite you to join us in our mission. Whether you’re an individual, a community, or a business, your support and participation are invaluable. Let’s work together to promote economic development along the path of the Grand Old Highway. Your donations, big or small, go a long way in supporting not-for-profits and public charities associated with our cause.

Stay tuned for more exciting locations as we continue our journey across U.S. Route 6. Together, we’ll explore, learn, and create new memories. 🛣️💕
